Taxonomie, fylogeze a fylogeografie vybraných skupin vodních brouků (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae, Hydraenidae) karibské oblasti

Tato doktorská práce je zaměřena na zástupce broučích čeledí vodomilovitých (Hydrophilidae) a vodanovitých (Hydraenidae) karibské oblasti a přilehlých oblastí. Je rozdělena do dvou částí: fylogenetické a systematické. Fylogenetická část se zaměřuje na vodomilí rody Phaenonotum a Crenitulus Velkých Antil: materiál byl nasbírán na všech čtyřech hlavních ostrovech (Kuba, Hispaniola, Jamajka, Portoriko) a analyzován na základě morfologických a molekulárních dat. Rod Phaenonotum obsahuje čtyři endemické druhy vyskytující se každý na jednom z ostrovů, z nichž ty z Kuby, Jamajky a Hispanioly jsou bezkřídlé a tvoří fylogenetickou větev, která se oddělila před ca. 46 milióny let a pravděpodobně kolonizovala karibskou oblast přes pevninský most GAARlandia. Druh endemický pro Portoriko a další dva neendemické druhy kolonizovaly karibské ostrovy přes moře během oligocénu a miocénu. Analýza rodu Crenitulus ukázala, že karibské druhy patří do dvou kládů: skupina druhů kolem C. yunque tvoří klád endemický pro Kubu a Hispaniolu, kdežto skupina druhů kolem C. suturalis je rozšířena na Velkých Antilách a v severní Americe. Podrobná revize druhové skupiny kolem C. yunque za pomocí morfologie a metod pro rozlišení druhů na základě molekulárních dat ukázala, že tato skupina obsahuje 11 druhů endemických pro jednotlivá...This thesis is focused in the representatives of beetle families Hydrophilidae and Hydraenidae of West Indies and adjacent regions. It consists of two parts, the phylogenetic part and the systematic part. The phylogenetic part focuses on the hydrophilid genera Phaenonotum and Crenitulus of Greater Antilles: beetles were sampled in all four main islands (Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico and Jamaica) and analyzed using the combination of molecular and morphological data. The genus Phaenonotum contains four single-island endemics, of which those from Cuba, Jamaica and Hispaniola are wingless and form a clade that diversified ca. 46 million years ago (Ma) and likely colonized the Caribbean via the GAARlandia land bridge. In contrast, the Puerto Rican endemic and the two remaining non-endemic species colonized the Greater Antilles by over- water dispersal during the Oligocene-Miocene. The analysis of the genus Crenitulus revealed that Greater Antillean species belong to two separate clades: the Crenitulus yunque clade endemic for Cuba and Hispaniola, and the Crenitulus suturalis clade containing specimens from Greater Antilles and from northern America. A detailed revision of the Crenitulus yunque clade using morphology and molecular-based species delimitation recognized 11 species locally endemic for...Katedra zoologieDepartment of ZoologyPřírodovědecká fakultaFaculty of Scienc

Taxonomy, phylogeny and phylogeografy of selected groups of aquatic beetles (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae, Hydraenidae) of the Caribbean region

Redescriptions and lectotype designations of Central American species of Phaenonotum Sharp (Coleoptera, Hydrophilidae) based on the type material from the David Sharp collection

In order to understand the identity of the Central American species of the genus Phaenonotum Sharp, 1882, the type specimens of the species described by Sharp (1882) deposited in the David Sharp collection in the Natural History Museum in London have been re-examined. The following species are redescribed: Phaenonotum apicale Sharp, 1882, P. collare Sharp, 1882, P. dubium Sharp, 1882 (confirmed as junior synonym of P. exstriatum (Say, 1835)), P. laevicolle Sharp, 1882, P. rotundulum Sharp, 1882 and P. tarsale Sharp, 1882. Lectotypes are designated for P. apicale, P. collare, P. rotundulum and P. tarsale. External diagnostic characters and morphology of male genitalia are illustrated. A table summarizing diagnostic characters allowing the identification of the species is provided
